Vein Problems

[iagree2shine 52]

So I completed my pre op testing at the hospital and when it came to draw blood they noticed a problem. A problem I've always noticed and when I need blood drawn. So they turned around and a sonogram on my veins and first time around I received the worst news possible. I was told I would need a vein picc line and five secs later a central venous in the neck. Ummm...NO! After that happy lady left a second sonogram guy came and said my veins were fine. Anyone have to go picc line route?

Then apparently you do not have a vein problem? I think you need to focus on the surgery, what is ahead for you, and not something you do not have a problem with. Best wishes!

My veins are very difficult to find and it was even worse the day of surgery because I was dehydrated. They had to stick me several times before they found a vein and when they finally did I was scared to even move my arm because I didnt want the needle to fall out and for them to have to do it all over again lol! I thought I was gonna need a central line too.
